Handitzer

An enormous, front-loaded culverin-style cannon engineered for direct hand-held use by only the largest, most heavily augmented operators. It can be charged with a range of munitions — high-explosive, armour-piercing, or grapeshot — allowing it to function as siege gun, anti-armour weapon, or close-range area shredder depending on the load. The weapon is brutally top-heavy and awkward to manage, yet its sheer mass and propulsive force make every discharge catastrophically powerful, sometimes even for the person holding it. True to Industrial Industries form, it is highly customisable at every level — but beneath the options, it remains exactly what it looks like: a ludicrously huge cannon that goes boom.

“Lissen here, all yer fancy lay-zers and glowin’ magic is cute an’ all, but what ya really need is good ol’ pow-der in a barrel. You pack it toight, you loight it roight, an’ fizzics does the rest — none o’ this thinkin’ business. Handitzer ain’t pretty, ain’t smart, but it works, ‘cause boom don’t care how clever ya are.”
